Our Take on KEEN’s Targhee 4 Mid Waterproof Boots
Stepping into KEEN’s Targhee 4 Mid Waterproof Boots, we immediately noticed how familiar they felt-like an update to a classic rather than a complete reinvention. The mid-height collar offered reassuring ankle support without feeling stiff, and the waterproof membrane handled shallow streams and wet grass with ease during our test hikes. We appreciated the roomy toe box, though some of us with narrower feet found ourselves cinching the laces a bit tighter than usual. Traction on loose gravel and muddy switchbacks was solid, if not aggressive, making these boots well-suited for day hikes and light backpacking. Overall, the Targhee 4 strikes us as a dependable, comfort-forward option for hikers who prioritize out-of-the-box wearability over ultralight performance.
